Spacious house with INCREDIBLE views! Could use some updating, especially carpet. Bedding is provided but seemed musty, so we washed it before use. Great starter set of supplies and well-stocked kitchen. Dual zone HVAC.
The upstairs loft had a large selection of paperbacks. There are some DVDs and a chess board on the main floor. The ping pong table and corn hole boards were a huge hit, but the pool table wasn’t in great condition. The basement bedroom is for people who are okay with bugs (not roaches, just basic forest insects).
The bathrooms were clean and spacious but didn’t have exhaust fans. We opened windows after showers. The bathrooms and kitchen didn’t all have hand towels and hand soap, so bring some extra.
As with most rentals, be prepared to wash kitchenware before use, but this rental was no worse than others. Be gentle with the dishwasher, as the soap lid is missing. You may want to buy bottled water and bagged ice. We have well water, and I normally drink from the tap, but even I had to agree that this water had a bad taste. We think it’s the area, not the house (1st time in Mass, so not certain).
Parking is no joke! Pass the driveway and u-turn at the cul-de-sac to pull in without scraping the bottom of your car. Driveway was large enough for our 4 cars.
The property management company was very helpful and responded quickly when I emailed with questions. Community & amenities are great. Eat at Thunderbird Cafe! Overall, we’d stay again :-)
